Predicted changes in herd immunity levels against Rift Valley fever virus in livestock following a natural exposure [PDF]
, 2015 Introduction Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) transmission gets elevated following periods of excessive and persistent rainfall. The average inter-epizootic period in Kenya has been estimated to be 3.6 years (range 1–7 years).

"Herd Immunity": A Rough Guide [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2011 The term "herd immunity" is widely used but carries a variety of meanings. Some authors use it to describe the proportion immune among individuals in a population. Others use it with reference to a particular threshold proportion of immune individuals that should lead to a decline in incidence of infection.

Infection-acquired versus vaccine-acquired immunity in an SIRWS model [PDF]
, 2017 Despite high vaccine coverage, pertussis has re-emerged as a public health concern in many countries. One hypothesis posed for re-emergence is the waning of immunity.

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.
